What's Wrong with this Ball..

[Cleefy]

1. A1 with an open palm starts hitting the ball and the ball starts bouncing again.

In my rules, (FIBA) to put the ball on the floor, let go of it, and then start hitting it again is a double dribble. But thats my interpretation

2. A1 with a closed fist starts hitting the ball and the ball starts bouncing again.

Here, I believe I have an answer for you, if the FIBA rules are the same as your rules...

13.2 Rule
A player shall not run with the ball, deliberately kick or block it with any part of the
leg or strike it with the fist.
However, to accidentally come into contact with or touch the ball with any part of
the leg is not a violation.
An infraction of Art. 13.2 is a violation.

In particular, note the strike with fist bit... just my two cents.
